GOVERNOR NAMES DEPUTY SECRETARY OF TECHNOLOGY

Richmond  Governor Mark. R. Warner today named Eugene J. Huang as Deputy 
Secretary of Technology.

Huang, 26, is on leave from Oxford University, where he is pursuing a 
doctorate in economic history, and from where he received a master's with 
distinction in economic and social history.  He co-founded BuildPoint 
Corp., an Internet firm in Redwood City, California, and served as a policy 
analyst for the Federal Communications Commission.

A magna cum laude graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Huang has 
received master's and bachelor's degrees in engineering, as well as a 
bachelor's degree from the Wharton School.

"I am pleased to welcome Eugene to my administration," said Governor 
Warner. "He will work to help us harness the latest technology, and provide 
centralized oversight of state IT projects."

Huang will work with interim Secretary of Technology Donald Upson, who has 
agreed to serve until Secretary-designate George Newstrom joins the Warner 
administration in early spring.
